[QUOTE="LoveTempered, post: 762157, member: 28752"] Hi and welcome! I found this lovely community that nobody wants to be a part of a couple of months ago. The anon groups are really helpful as mentioned. One thing we learn about is how to not enable our loved ones. My husband and I are sometimes in a different place about our son and I have struggled to accept that sometimes. I would like to lovingly suggest that if you go to a support group for families with addiction, go for yourself. Just like the addict has to want change, we family members have to want to do the work to be healthier in the context of addiction. Nobody can tell us when we are ready or willing to do that. It is truly the "put the oxygen mask on yourself first" moment. I have discovered that only way I can help my family is to focus on my own healing. Blessings (of whatever variety you accept) on your journey. [/QUOTE]
